Reaction Steps

To a solution of ethyl 2-oxo-2,3,9,10-tetrahydro-1H-pyrido[3′,4′:4,5]pyrrolo[1,2,3-de]quinoxaline-8(7H)-carboxylate (from Example 211, Step A) (360 mg, 1.2 mmol) in DMF (20 mL) at rt was added NaH (172 mg, 4.8 mmol), MeI (0.25 mL, 4.0 mmol) and stirred at 25° C. for 6 hours. The solution was diluted with water (30 mL) and extracted with EtOAc (2×30 mL). The combined extracts were dried over magnesium sulfate, concentrated, and purified by flash chromatography to afford ethyl 1,1,3-trimethyl-2-oxo-2,3,9,10-tetrahydro-1H-pyrido[3′,4′:4,5]pyrrolo[1,2,3-de]quinoxaline-8(7H)-carboxylate (370 mg, 90%) as an oil. MS [M+H]+ 342. 1H NMR (CDCl3, 300 MHz): δ 7.12 (d, 1H, J=7.7 Hz), 7.01 (t, 1H, J=7.7 Hz), 6.63 (d, 1H, J=7.7 Hz), 4.69 (s, 2H), 4.23 (m, 2H), 3.86 (m, 2H), 3.43 (s, 3H), 3.01 (m, 2H), 1.81 (s, 6H), 1.24 (t, 3H, J=7.3 Hz) ppm.
